Steps to building and collaboration between TL's and staff

1. Make sure that you have introduced yourself to all the staff each year at the beginning. I know at our school there has been a lot of turnover and the new people may not know what your role is at the school.
2. Draw students and teachers into the library with quality collections and media programs that help with the learning and teaching process. (Canter, 2011)
3. Create a mutually respectful bond between the librarian and the staff.  By working on shared projects and collaborating so that each persons job is a little easier.(Canter, 2011)
4. Remain involved in all aspects of the school community, such as school committees and extra curricular items so that they see you as a TL but also a member of the staff. (Diggs, 2011)
5. To promote collaboration we need to see the library space as the hub of the school not as our own personal space. These need to be community spaces where all types of learning happen not just books. (Diggs, 2011)
